  If this is so, your comment makes no sense. If i didn’t have an issue with it in the old trek, why would it be a problem now?

  To make it absolutely clear: the problem is the order of priorities - that diversity is no1 and storyline is no99. Not that diversity is there.

  For me, trek wasn’t primarily about diversity. It was about space and exploration, ethical dilemmas. By ‘chance’ it happened to have a diverse crew and it was irrelevant who they were.

  Now, it’s primarily about diversity, minorities and who is in the team… god forbid we have one minority unrepresented. Space and exploration come not even second, but way down the list.

  American society seems to overcompensate with that on TV to offset what is happening in the real world. For example making Cleopatra black.

  Connecting this to international companies I used to work for: It was always better in multi-cultural environment. But imagine if you have to hire every nationality just to put a checkbox on some list, regardless of what they know and can do. This is how this trailer feels: forced for no good reason.

  Yep. Exactly my point.

  Same for me.

  Just saw jem Hadar in the star fleet in this trailer? What?

  I see them prioritizing:

  1. Diversity and political correctness
  2. Special effects
  3. Dramatic feel / grandiose feel

  …

  99. Storyline

  Kurzman really destroyed trek.

  I will see what comes out in the first 3 episodes, but as with discovery, I have extremely little expectations. Discovery ruined new trek for me: still cannot get over the mushroom drive and waterbear providing maps by shocking it with electricity, constantly whispering and whining of the main character, another crybaby destroyed dilithium in the galaxy because he has a ‘connection’… Take your pick

  They do have some good casting, like Tig Notaro. Hope there are other good ones as well.

  I think he made it interesting to younger generations with much shorter attention span. Even though I am not that generation, I still find it interesting because it is more dynamic. It doesn’t have the moral/ethical dilemmas like in TNG, DS9 and others though.

  He made it interesting. Unlike what they did with Discovery
